There is news coming through from France that Montpellier have confirmed an agreement has been reached with Newcastle United for the transfer of their midfielder Remy Cabella, but the midfielder will move in the summer and not this month.

Remy Cabella – will become Newcastle player in the summer We assume this means that a contract agreement has been reached with both Montpellier on the fee, and with Remy Cabella on his wages and the deal will be completed at the end of the season, and that Cabella will become a Newcastle player on July 1st.

This is what Montpellier Chairman Laurent Nicollin has told the French site Midi Libre:

“We have an agreement with the leaders of Newcastle that I will not reveal,” “But it does not include a departure for Remy before June, it is a certainty.”

We had mentioned last week that if Cabella couldn’t move in January, there was nothing stopping Newcastle from agreeing the deal now, and have it be completed in the summer.

And this is what seems to have happened, and it’s Joe Kinnear’s first signing for Newcastle United.

No word on the fee, but it’s probably between £12M and £14M, and this looks like a good deal for Newcastle United, and well done Joe Kinnear, and it’s good that Mike Ashley has come up with the money.

And with the deal now agree, it seems the news that Remy wanted to join Newcastle was indeed true, and now we need to get a striker in this month, and keep Yohan Cabaye at the club.

The fat French cockerel is Gutted and angry that we are going to be taking one of his players from him again. He can huff and puff all he wants, But he is not going to change the inevitable of cabella joining the toon

JB I hope he stays and helps us push for CL spot, if we by some miracle make it, he stays otherwise we can sell him after the WC for a hefty profit and “reinvest” in summer. I still believe our season will be defined in this window. Who we sell and buy. Hoping another CB and ST is part of the plan

Great inititive shown by Newcastle to wrap things up in advance. It’s a shame though that we’ll probably be left wanting to see both Cabaye and Cabella play together in the same team. It’s still possible that Cabaye stays after summer but looks very unlikely.

Either way great piece of business by Newcastle.

Now get us that striker for this month and we will be stronger for the last push of this season.

RVD I think the lad wants out if a champions League club come in for him and who can blame him. If PSG are seriously offering anywhere near the 26 million euros thats being quoted then you’d have to think that Ashley will take the money sooner rather than later.

The chance of warm weather training down here in Wales are absolutely zero

If its true weve got Cabella,if its true were trying to snatch Salah from under the noses of liverfool and were also still trying to negoitiate a deal for Remy then i should imagine Cabayes off to PSG.

Not taking this as gospel till someone at NUFC says something! Nicollin wastes words like a fool and craves the spotlight! Hope its not the case but the way nicollin does things I wouldn’t be surprised if we either had signed him already or not even made contact! Man will do anything to keep himself infront of journalists! Be good when they are relegated and the french press forget him! Hes worse than dave bloody whelan! Thank heavens he didn’t break his leg in an fa cup final…..

At 28, Cabaye is about at his peak. We’ll get plenty of money from a club that wants a complete player who can play at that level for realistically at least the next 4 years. I think the only way that he’ll stay is if we convince him that we’re going to strengthen to realistically challenge the top 4. Otherwise, I can understand him wanting to play CL football again.

There’s absolutely nothing in Nicollin’s words (We have an agreement with the leaders of Newcastle that I will not reveal,” ”But it does not include a departure for Remy before June, it is a certainty.”). Which says that Cabella will join Newcastle United at all.

The agreement could have been something along the lines of Ashley agrees to keep Kinnear as far away from Montpellier as possible otherwise…….!

Could be an agreement that we’ll be the first to be invited to put an offer in for him. Could be anything and to be honest, with Kinnear on the case, I won’t believe it until we see Cabella holding the shirt!!

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed this week and I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to go over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and hasn't spread over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer - but there are treatments which attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh, North Carolina

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
